The Ratchet & Clank Future saga is a trilogy of games in the Ratchet & Clank series. It started off with Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, followed by Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty, and ended with Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time.^[1][2] The name "Future" may have been included because of the evolution of the visuals and gameplay in the games for the PS3, or simply to denote the trilogy's intertwined story. After A Crack in Time, the main series is continued with Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One.

The main protagonist is Ratchet, just like in the main series. While Nefarious is the main antagonist of the series due to his manipulations.

Behind the scenesEdit

The Future saga takes a more dramatic turn from the original Ratchet & Clank series. It starts off with Ratchet searching for the fate of the Lombaxes in Tools of Destruction and later evolves with Clank having a connection with the Zoni. Captain Qwark also returned, and in A Crack in Time, Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence returned as the main antagonists with a plan on using the Great Clock to re-write history.

GamesEdit

• Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (released in 2007)
• Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty (released in 2008)
• Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time (released in 2009)

Behind the scenesEdit

• The European versions of the games don't carry the "Future" subtitle and are simply prefixed with "Ratchet & Clank". This is because of the difficulty in translating the word "Future" into multiple languages.

DevelopmentEdit

"We set off to basically show Ratchet something about his past."

―TJ Fixman talking about the Future saga^[src]

The Future saga story was designed to answer a lot of questions about Ratchet and Clank. But the developers didn't want to answer every single question, leaving some questions unanswered for discussion or potential future adventures.^[3]
